Version: 3.0.0 (using KDE 3.1.0 (RC6)) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r10 If you gnereate a kpart application with gideon from the create new project dialog, several of the source files it creates list Kurt Granroth as the copyright holder, but do not give any permissions to modify or redistribute. As a result I sent him an email asking about it. The email is below. He suggests just changeing the name. It may make more sense to use the template for .h and .cpp files also chosen in the create new project dialog.

That's a bug. Those projects were originally based on kapptemplate templates, hence my name on anything. It looks like I forgot to use the variable substitution on the kpartapp files and the kdevelop people carried over the changes. The copyright is *supposed* to be in your name (or whoever created the project). I suggest filing a bug report on kdevelop. Mention that your name and email address didn't appear as the copyright holder and that the date is wrong. -- Kurt Granroth - "KDE -- Conquer Your Desktop" KDE Developer/Evangelist | granroth@kde.org http://www.granroth.org | kurt@granroth.org
Speaking of perfect timing, that bug was fixed in CVS three hours before you filed the bug report :)
